Love that interior! Looks like it has some wonderful memories in there.
BOOM! That is what I was seeking. Thank you!
Thanks for the additional info. That is super informative and helpful. I do cheat a little and use a conversational mill at work to setup and...
it is not worth anything. I cannot imagine there would be any “profits” from selling a chiwanese steering wheel from Speedway motors. Unless you...
I like the unfilled roof. It is a bit like having a roadster. The roof insert does nothing for me except trap heat. Well, I guess it keeps the sun...
Thank you,Sir! That is super helpful (Cleaver turned out pretty sweet too BTW). When you use the duct tape, do you use a masking tape layer...
Well damn. Your car is a LOT nicer than mine! Mine is brush painted and more than little rough around the edges. Yours is lovely, just lovely.
Thanks for all the replies fellas! I’m gonna try to engine turn the underside. If it doesn’t work, I will figure something else out, paint maybe?...
Ok fellas, I have been driving my 30 model A Ford coupe, and I ran across a little issue. My car does not have a roof insert, and the sun...
Not so much. The toy car thing is lost on her. I’ve had the truck in my aviator for 19yrs. She has gone for a ride in it exactly twice, and has...
Haha! This winter I swapped to a pretty hot sbc engine (was a mild 283), and a 9” rear (4.11 gear posi) with express intent of making it a little...
Have you considered gravity bleeding it? Add drain hoses to the bleed screws and leave em cracked open. Do NOT hit the pedal just let ‘em weep....
Nice work! Those wheels came out KILLER! Dig the truck too!
I did encounter a new issue, not wholly unexpected though. I seem to lose traction when I hit the gas pedal…. Not sure there is a fix for that...
Well you told me I had to! After all the assistance, it would have been unconscionable to not reply with the fix/outcome. Seriously, thank you!...
Haha! Ain’t that awful? It drives my buddy up a wall, he has to comment on it every time he sees it. Ah well, it is on the list for wintertime...
Pics of Beulah for reference.
So. I got a buddy that restores Duesenbergs and the like. His shop has a tire shaver and graciously offered to let me bring it by on Sat if I need...
Put a dial indicator on one of the Coker Firestones. It had about .050” of runout. The test radial had about .030”. It is a tough measurement...
DB auburns you say? I’m not familiar with them?
Thanks everyone! What a wonderful resource this forum is. I really appreciate the responses and the advice. Once again HAMB for the win!
It is the tires. I threw a set of 215/70/15s on the front that were in my garage. Problem is almost completely gone. I expect the little that is...
There is a ton of wheel weights on all four corners. I have heard that ism-retry normal for the first one bias-plys
I checked the wheel bearings this morning, that was the first thing I thought of. I’m trying to hunt down another set of tires to swap in for a...
Firestone bias plies front and rear
Hey all, I’m having a struggle and figured I’d ask for a little help. I just put an engine in my car and got it on the road. Sounds good, runs...
I dig the way the Hoosiers look in that pic. Keep making progress and to hell with whoever doesn’t get it (don’t like it? Don’t look.). Your...
I gotta say, the lowering makes a ton of difference. Looking good JSxtreme. And separately, the photography is on point!

Damn. I should have guessed it would devolve to this when I posted…. Sorry fellas.
